Hockey officials defend Doan, Bloc leader compares him to bank robber

“When someone robs a bank he's presumed innocent until proven guilty - but I don't know many people who'd name them bank manager while the trial's still on”

Hockey officials' impassioned defence of Team Canada's captain left an unimpressed Bloc Quebecois leader comparing Shane Doan to a bank robber and accusing him of racial profiling. via CBC News

What a typical comment from the "Bloc-Head" Quebecois. This is a perfect example of the kind of politician that he is and that his party represents. Why don't you try focusing on real politics instead of material that could be found in some sort of smut magazine.
What a loser you are.

Canadians do not understand American television contracts. Versus and NBC do not want teams from Canada in the NHL because poor A.C. Nielsen television ratings and large advertising losses.
Versus and NBC do not need teams from Canada in the NHL playoffs because of financial losses and television ratings.

Canadians outside of Quebec do not understand the concept of sovereignty association in Quebec.
Canadians do not understand the concept of offensive team nicknames towards Aboriginal First Nations.

Unfortunately, politically incorrect people such as Don Cherry and Shane Doan are given to the right to make insensitive remarks.

Whether the NHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships, Canadians do not understand the concept of American television contracts and human rights.

Ahhhh.... Richard TO ignorance is bliss isn't it?

I am originally from Montreal and understand full well the severity of the alleged comment made.

1) What proof is there of what Doan said?

2) An NHL investigation cleared Doan!

3) That same investigation has fingered an American as the one who uttered the slur mmmmmmmm humble pie!

4) American arenas can't even sell out for a playoff game!!!- even Detroit, the so called "hockey town" has empty seats! You are right…sounds like the future of NHL hockey should be in the hands of cities that don't care about it - LOL

5) American teams benefit most from profit sharing - sapping money out of places like Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa. While sad franchises like Boston do the bare minimum to put a crappy product on the ice in front of maybe 7,000 people every night!

Anyway most of your argument has nothing to do with the topic.

But I find it especially funny that an American thinks Canadians do not understand the concept of human rights! LOL BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Another ignorant Canadian from Saskatoon the home of a politically incorrect Junior Western Hockey League team which moved from Winnipeg. This ignorant Canadian who probably will never understand Sovereignty Association of Quebec or the Assembly of First Nations. Too bad the NDP Government did not give you a proper education. You are probably a member of the politically incorrect Saskatchewan Party who will probably destroy the lives of people of Saskatchewan in the future. Hopefully, the people of Saskatchewan will return the NDP and not the lowest common denominator called the Saskatchewan Party.

The ignorant head office of the National Hockey League who probably did not listen the NHL Officials who were calling the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Phoenix Coyotes. Since Wayne Gretzky is involve with the Phoenix Coyotes, there probably is a conspiracy against the official who called the game. This is typical of the "bush league" NHL in not listening to someone from the sovereign place called Quebec who was involved in the game.
